Dan Otero was a relief pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. In 2019 he struck out 16 batters over 29.2 innings across 25 appearances, going 0-0. His ERA of 4.85 was 7.7% higher than the league average of 4.51 — 15th of 19 on his team, and 335th of 545 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.17 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 12.8% of swings (6.3% of every pitch he threw), walked 2.3% of the batters he faced and struck out 12.2%. His -0.1 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.
